Ravin LR Long Range Compound Crossbow Set – 450 FPS – Beige

A Technological Predator for Long-Range Shooting

The Ravin LR model isn't just another crossbow; it's an evolution in archery. At its core lies the patented Helicoil technology, which allows the cams to rotate 340 degrees, keeping them perfectly level during the draw and shot. This eliminates cable interference and results in world-class accuracy. To enhance your experience, the crossbow features a silent cocking system and a fully adjustable cheek comb and buttstock for a custom fit. The package includes a premium 1-8x24 adjustable-turret scope, allowing you to compensate for bolt drop with ease across varying distances.

Technical Parameters and Specifications

How to Properly Use and Prepare Your Crossbow

Before your first shot, adjust the telescopic stock and cheek piece to ensure your eye aligns naturally with the scope. Use the integrated handle to cock the bow; the Frictionless Flight System ensures the bolt and string don't drag on the rail. The Ravin LR is equipped with an anti-dry fire mechanism, but always ensure the bolt is fully seated against the string. Zero your scope at a base distance (e.g., 20 yards) and then utilise the calibrated turret for long-range adjustments. This model is ideal for competitive target shooting or legal hunting activities.

Interesting Fact about Ravin

Did you know that Ravin Crossbows completely disrupted the industry by eliminating the traditional rail? In a Ravin, the bolt "floats" on two points – the string and the rest at the front. This drastically reduces friction, increases string life, and is the primary reason behind the extreme accuracy that allows shooters to hold tight groups at distances previously thought impossible for a crossbow.

Maintenance of Your New Gear

• String Care: Regularly apply string wax to the main cables and string (avoiding the centre serving) to prevent fraying and moisture damage.
• Bolt Inspection: Check the tightness of the scope mounts and accessory screws after periods of heavy use.
• General Cleaning: Wipe down the crossbow with a dry cloth after outdoor use to remove dust or moisture. A light coat of oil on metal parts will prevent corrosion.

What to Avoid to Prevent Damage

Never, under any circumstances, dry-fire the crossbow (firing without a bolt). Even with safety systems in place, a dry fire can cause the limbs to shatter or damage the cams. Use only original Ravin .001 Premium bolts with the specific Ravin nocks. Using generic bolts can damage the string or lead to dangerous malfunctions during the shot.

Recommended Accessories

To complete your setup, I recommend a Ravin hard case specifically designed for their narrow-profile bows to provide maximum protection during travel. For practice, a heavy-duty high-velocity target is essential to stop bolts carrying 180 ft-lbs of energy. Consider adding a set of Ravin carbon bolts and lighted nocks for better visibility when shooting in low-light conditions.
